Bottom line

Solid cash generation and attractive valuation offer a good risk/reward profile.

Tenet Healthcare shows solid financial health (ND/EBITDA 2.29, operating margin 18.16%) and exceptional profitability (ROE 37.34%, ROIC 22.12%). Its valuation is attractive (P/E 10.08) and earnings growth is very strong (213.4%), although the dividend is non-existent.

⚠ Main risk
